You'll get a lot of insight into what's actually happening if you append &debugQuery=true to your queries, or check the "debug" checkbox in the solr admin page.
But I suspect (and it's a guess since you haven't included your schema) that your problem is that you're mixing explicit and default fields. Something like "q=ap_address:Tom+Cruise", I think, gets parsed into something like ap_address:tom + default_field:cruise What happens if you try ap_address:(tom +cruise)?
